13) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

John 8: Jesus tells them that the one who is

from God listens to his sayings!

Thus they don’t listen to him because they

are not from God!

 

- Once again God’s Word vs man’s tradition!

 

- Both are not complementary: we have to

make a choice!

 

- How is it possible to listen and follow those

who believe in man’s tradition instead of God’s

Word!

 

- Is the difference not so evident?

 

- And if it is not, it means that we don’t study

enough!

 

- We must be careful: it is a question of life

or death!

 

- We must get away from appearances and

keep digging, otherwise we will stay at the

surface!

 

- There is a big difference between activity

and inactivity!

14) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

John 9: Some Pharisees say that Jesus is not

a man from God because he does not observe

the sabbath!

 

- Others wonder how a man who is a sinner

can perform such signs!

 

- As a consequence there is a division among

them!

 

- It is always a dilemma: even if they know they

are wrong, they are used to look for their own

interests!

 

- It is difficult to change when you have been

doing something for a long time!

 

- Humility vs pride!

 

- Life vs Death!

15) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

John 9: His parents say so because they fear the

Jews have decided to expel from the synagogue

anyone acknowledging Jesus as Christ!

 

- The religious leaders have power and they use

it or better said abuse it to threaten ordinary people!

 

- They don’t care about the truth or better said

they tell about their own truth which is the

opposite of God’s truth because it serves their

own interests!

 

- Thus how can they serve ordinary people’s

interests?

 

- They don’t want people to know the truth!

 

- They like darkness and work in darkness!

 

- Jesus always warns us against them!

 

- We must open our eyes and ears!

 

- It is a question of life or death!

16) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

John 9: The man says how it is possible that

they don’t know where he is from whereas

he opened his eyes!

 

- Thus he can only be from God!

 

- the Pharisees answer him he was born in sin

thus he can’t teach us!

 

- So they throw him out!


- The former blind man tricks the religious

leaders at their own game!

- Of course, it is against their own interests!

- Thus they deny the obvious!

- But it is a dangerous game because it shows

their real nature!

- And it is not from God!

17) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

John 9: Jesus explains that he has come so those

not seeing might see and those seeing might

become blind!

 

- Some of the Pharisees ask him if they are blind!

 

- Jesus answers saying that if they were blind,

they would have no sin!

 

- They say they see so their sin remains!

 

- Jesus is clear the religious leaders are blind

because of their attitude and their pride (we

can say the same of kings).

 

- They don’t want to listen!

 

- They prefer to defend their own interest!

 

- They are condemned!

 

- No way to escape their judgment!

 

- Their guilt is double because they mislead

the people who follow them!

 

- So many bad examples!

 

- They are deaf and blind!

 

- They will never understand!

18) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

John 10: Jesus speaks about the one not entering

into the sheepfold through the door but climbing

in by another way is a thief and a plunderer!

 

- Jesus compares the religious leaders to thieves

and plunderers!

 

- When we remember that they are only looking

for their own interests, it makes sense!

 

- So many people died or became slaves because

of them when Jerusalem was destroyed by the

Romans!

 

- How many will follow the same end because

of them when God puts an end to this world?

19) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

John 10: Jesus says that the one who enters

through the door is the shepherd of the sheep!

 

- The doorkeeper opens to him and his sheep

listen to his voice!

 

- He calls them by name and leads them out!

 

- He goes ahead of them and they follow him,

because they know his voice!

 

- They won’t follow a stranger because they

don’t know his voice!

 

- Jesus is the shepherd, the religious leaders

are the strangers!

 

- The sheep follow him, listen to him!

 

- He knows the name of each one!

 

- He leads them out!

 

- But they will by no means follow a stranger!

 

- On the contrary they flee from him

 

- Because they don’t want to get into trouble!

20) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

John 10: Jesus tells about the hired man

who is not a shepherd and to whom the

sheep do not belong!

 

- When he sees the wolf coming, he

abandons the sheep and flees!

 

- Then the wolf snatches them and

scatters them!

 

- THE SHEPHERD vs no shepherds at all!

 

- THE SHEEP BELONG TO THE SHEPHERD!

 

- WHEN THE WOLF IS COMING THE HIRED

MAN ABANDONS THE SHEEP AND FLEES!

 

- He is a HIRED MAN and DOES NOT CARE

FOR THE SHEEP!

 

- THE HIRED MAN / ABANDONS THE SHEEP / FLEES

 

- It is difficult to be more clear!

 

- Do you need the real SHEPHERD or the HIRED

MAN!

21) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

John 10: The Jews are divided because of Jesus’

words!

 

- Some think he has a demon whereas others

he has not!

 

- It is not something new!

 

- And it keeps going the same way!

 

- It is the same with Bible translations!

 

- It seems there are many Bibles!

 

- That’s why it is important to keep in mind

the original text!

 

- Jesus said many would come in his name and

turn his message in something else to mislead

the majority!

 

- Thus we must be careful!

 

- Thus we must check everything!

 

- Thus we must take time on a daily basis to

learn about the Bible!

 

- It is like a trip that will never end!

 

- The more we understand the more we want to

learn!

 

- And it is not possible to stop!

 

- But you can’t postpone this trip!

 

- It is a question of life and death for each one

of us!

 

-If you think you don’t have the time, what do

you think that Jesus will say when he comes

back regarding to you?

22) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

John 10: Then the Jews surround him and begin

to say to him: “how long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

 

- They are not serious!

 

- Better said, they are ridiculous!

 

- How is it possible to say such words?

 

- Everybody is speaking about Jesus’ miracles!

 

- And they can hear his teaching even if they

don’t want to listen to it!

 

- The way you ask questions shows who you

are and if you are really interested!

 

- You can act with bad faith!

 

- But you can’t cheat people except if they

want it!

 

- The way you act and speak gives many

indications of who you really are!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
